Keep Your Eye on Morrow County
Last Monday the Oregonian made editorial
comment about our last week's story of two Forest
Service men who watched, and then described to
us, a Flying Hat sail over them while they were
working in the mountains southeast of Heppner.
That paper's editorial writer said that he was
heartened to hear that flying saucers were com
ing back after a considerable period during which
there has been a decided scarcity of these un
explainable flying machines.
The Oregonian said, under the heading, "Now
Flying Hats":
"Reports of flying saucers have been so scarce
lately that one had almost come to the conclusion
that the Martians or Venusians or whoever they
are, had given us up as impossible creatures. It
is heartening to read that this is not so, that
apparently they merely have been getting a new
model into production.
"The saucer which two Forest Service employ
es saw skimming over the Blue mountains the
other day traveled at the customary "terrific"
speed. Its sound in flight, like that of a jet plane,
was not unusual either, although the sound it
made as it shot out of sight had never before been
so closely observed. This sound, said the observ
ers, was a kind of "blip", like that made by a .22
bullet when it hits water.
"Design of the latest saucer, however, is what
is newsworthy. It was hat-shaped, or, one might
say, like a saucer complete with cup. Headroom
in a flying saucer must be cramped, even for
little men. A cabin on top is a logical refinement
for continued, long cruises to Earth."
This newspaper goes along with its big-city
neighbor's views that there has been a scarcity
of saucers, or whatever they might be called, but
we can't take quite as dim a view of the gadgets
as does The Oregonian. We must admit, however,
that we can't offer any better explanation lor
them than The Oregonian can . . . but just wait,
and keep your eye on Morrow county.
This year our county has come up with sev
eral "firsts" that were mighty newsworthy and
the year isn't over yet. We fell heir to the first
genuine tornado seen (and photographed) In
Oregon in many a year. We also had some hail
that was bigger than even our neighboring Uma
tilla county could brag about . . . and there have
been others where else but in our county has
Bonneville Power Administration ever lost 15
steel towers to a thunderstorm? Now, some of our
citizens sight and unidentified flying object which
Is the first such machine seen this year in Oregon.
Yes, great things happen in Morrow county, so
it will be well if other editors keep their eyes
open to what may be coming in the future.
As to the new model flying saucer, we haven't
yet been fortunate enough to see one, but we
wouldn't be surprised if before the year is out
that one of them will land on the hill behind our
Pioneer Memorial hospital so that one of its oc
cupants can be treated there for seasickness or
whatever other minor ailments a member of its
crew might have. Not only woulld it be doggone
good advertising for our hospital but it would
also prove our oft-repeated statement that the
reputation of Morrow county is spread far and
wide And besides, that would be a real handy
place to get a good look at whatever it may prove
to be.
We expect to get a couple of pictures too,
and we might even send The Oregonian one
just to prove our point.

copper, zinc and managnese sul
phates. Plots this year were lo
cated at the Max Barclay, Ken
neth Smouse, A. E. Stefan! and
Son, Burton Peck, Harold Evans
and Oscar Peterson ranches. All
were wheat with the exception
of the plot at the Oscar Peter
son ranch which was a fall bar
ley plot. This Is the first barley
fertilizer experiment conducted
in this series of experiments
which has been carried on In the
Columbia Basin during the past
four years. In addition, two wheat
fertiliizer plots, established in
1955, were harvested this year to
determine whether there was
carry-over from the last fertiliz
er application. These plots were
located at the D. O. Nelson and
Don Hellker ranches. Plots sampl
ed for residual effect of nittrogen
last year showed that there was
considerable effect In the next
crop grown on fertilized land.
With completely different condi
tions between the 1954 and 1056
crops ' nad the 1955 and 1957
crop years, this year's samplfng
may show different. Yiields from
the plots are now being calcu
lated by the Pendleton branch
experiment station and will be
available soon. With this year's
plot harvest finished, this con
